Tilted Kilt raises $115,000-plus for the Folds of Honor Foundation

Congratulations to Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery for raising $115,424 for the Folds of Honor Foundation — and an even bigger congratulations to the Chino location for being one of the nationwide fundraising leaders, contributing $13,000 of that total.

Money was raised through sales of paper dog tags from Memorial Day through Independence Day.

Anheuser-Busch kicked in another $10,000, making the grand total donation amount $125,424.

This is the fourth year Tilted Kilt has raised money for the organization, which provides scholarships to family members of fallen or injured service members. A check presentation ceremony was hosted at the Chino pub on Aug. 17.

A fundraiser of a different sort is happening Saturday at Colony High School in Ontario. The school and its PTSA are hosting a food truck festival from 5-9 p.m. at 3850 E. Riverside Drive.

Admission is $3 with entertainment will be provided by Power 106 and Psycho Punx.

There will also be student performances from the school’s drum line, color guard, jazz band and dance club.

Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour is hosting a blood drive from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday at its Rancho Cucamonga location, 10742 E. Foothill Blvd. Donors receive a free sundae, and will be entered into a drawing for a Farrell’s birthday party for a group of 10.

The chain will also host a blood drive from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 6 at its Riverside location at 3610 Park Sierra Drive.

Wienerschnitzel will celebrate the grand opening of its new Jurupa Valley location, 10207 San Sevaine Way, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. Guests can purchase buy-one-get-one-free chili, kraut and mustard dogs during the event, which will also feature a raffle for a bicycle and other prizes.
